I really enjoyed this!!! Totally true on everything you said!!! Being a single mom is very normal in the U.S. I am married at 23 and get the weirdest looks. My husband has to exaaaaact same philosophy on co-sleeping (she won’t be small forever)! However with baby #2 coming…she’s time for our almost 3 year old to GO! && the #justbeingwithHer = ❤️! I’m a new youtuber, feel free to check out my channel!

Don’t worry I slept in my mummas bed u till I was 11 on and off and we have such an amazing relationship, I feel very open with her and she is open with me. With the pacifier I had mine till I was 5 but I finally got rid of mine through the ‘pacifier fairy’, just like a tooth fairy but leaving a new comfort item or small gift to show how grown up she is getting.. Thank you for answering my questions, I will be looking at the essentials video so I can get ideas for my first year at university.

Don’t regret the paci. Yes you will probably get grief over it. But my daughter was 4 and half and we done everything to break her. The doctor said it was simply a security blanket. And she will let it go when she’s ready. She did. However she does have to have braces because of it.

Co-sleeping? haha I still sleep with my mom occasionally (during storms and hot nights cause only her room has a/c) and im uh 20. I slept with her til I was 12ish then less and less. I also went a period of time when I was a teen where I slept with her for a long time because we were given my cousins old twin mattress for my room and it was literally a rock, and we couldn’t afford a new one. I’m off at school now at residence, but me and my mom have a very close relationship, I have struggled with my mental health my whole life but it was a lot harder dealing with it as a kid and she was really the only one who believed me and was there for me. I’m getting choked up thinking about how much I love my mom.

I regret the co-sleeping thing too, I thought I was the only one! (Got a ton of crap for it too as an infant but he’s fine!) My fiancé and I feel the same way about missing it one day though so it can’t be the end of the world 😉 you’re a wonderful mama! I had my son right after my 18th birthday. You remind me a lot of myself haha 🙂

RE the dummy thing. My brother was the same age as sawyer and still used a dummy (pacifier) and at christmas time my mum told him that santa needed all his dummies for other little boys and girls and if he left all his dummies out on christmas eve he would get christmas presents basically. He did that and was so distracted over days following christmas with his new toys that he forgot all about dummies and never needed them again. x

Hi Tayler, I saw your video in my recommended feed and I enjoyed hearing your testimony. You know my mom is a single mom as well and the relationship that we had while I was growing up is quite similar to yours and Sawyer. I wish you the very best!
